An Observation Guide for Individual Differences

1. Observe the class to see the differences in abilities of the learners.

2. Try to identify the students who seem to be performing well and those that seem to be behind.
3. Validate your observations by asking the teacher about the background (family, socio-economic,
presence of some learning disabilities, etc.) of these children.
4. Observe the behavior of both the high achieving and low-achieving learners. Note their
dispositions, pace in accomplishing tasks, interaction with teacher, and interaction with others.
5. Observe the teacher’s method in addressing the individual learning needs of the students in
his/her class.

Analysis

1. Did your observation match the information given by the teacher? Were you able to correctly
identify who among the students performed well and who did not? What behavior helped you
identify them? (Volunteering to answer responding to teacher’s directions, etc.)

2. Describe the differences in ability levels of the students in the class. Is there a wide gap between
the students who are performing well and those that are not?

3. Describe the methods used by the teacher in handling the students’ differences in abilities. How did
the students respond to the teacher?

Reflections

1. Recall the time when you were in the elementary or high school. Recall the high and low achievers
in your class. How did your teacher deal with differences in abilities? Was your teacher effective?

2. With the principle of individual differences in mind, what methods and strategies will you remember
in the future to ensure that you will be able to meet the needs of both the high and low achievers in
your class?
